opponents.

to deal with other questions until the
Irish question had been cleared out OF the

questionable supremacy of the Imperial
Parliament.

BERLIN. March 1S.-One of the Empe-

1t is to prevent this that he is continually
watched in order to avert or cure every
indisposition. "Of course" said the doc
tor "he requires a good deal of sleep.
He has occasional swoons but these are
simply the result of Overwork, and they
no longer alarm us. because we have
found certain remedy. His mental and
physical freshness and health are such that
many men thirty or forty years Younger
might envy him 1t is, therefore, hardly
necessary to contradict the rumor that he
will make the Crown Prince co-regent.

s society Miss Takes the Conceit ont OF
Young Briton of Noble BIood-see-
ing the United states on the 1.-TWO
Day" Plan.
The mention Of Florida recalls the expert
ence Of some young Englishmen who came to
Washington for two days on their way TO
that land OF oranges and alligators and who
stayed here two months. They got into Off
cial society and found it 50 attractive that
they could not get away. One young Brlton,
apparently not many years above II, and the
son of real lord but travelling as modest
Mr.. -, went out 10 make calls last week.
The daughter Of a well known hostess had
several young women assisting her, and with
these he proved "A voluble and unfiagging
talker. Finally, TO give him variety and re-
leve one of the assistants, the hostess said TO
a caller:
"Do let me introduce that young man over
there / want to get Miss A. away from him,
and he shows 10 signs of giving up
The introduction was made, bows were
exchanged and the son Of a real lord' was
left with the other woman.
"And what are you doing in Washington, if
| may ask the question: were the first words
IF the young man, as he gave one sweeping
inclusive glance, from her tall bonnet down
to the hem Of her gown.
"Oh, am doing what most other women
are doing-mal,ing calls" she replied with
a flash Of quickness, and showing no sur
prise at the unexpected and abrupt question.
HE WAS SET BACK.
The surprise was on the other side, and for
an instant be was set back by her readiness
"Ah-oh-don't you know-thats really very
good" he said, laughing and recovering
himself
"And what are you doing in Washington,
if | may ask the question: she added the
next moment, and giving him second start
"Ah-Oh-really, YOU Americans are very
quick, don't you know" he answered, trifie
subdued, and in rather more tone OF
respectful Difference 81 will tell you. We
have lust come across 10 look about little
Spent two days in New York, you know
Ran on here for two days and well-really,
there is a good deal in your towns, you know
Quite a lot TO see
Two days in New York and two in Wash
ingtOn. Is it possible, Mr. -, there are two
whole days of sightseeing in either city for
an Englishmanl Oh, / understand. You have
iust run over to get thoroughly acquainted
with us. and will then run home TO England
and write a book about America. OF course
this accounts for your long stay in New York
and two whole days at our capital! But I'm
so glad you find a lot 10 see.
"Ah-oh-really now. You can't mean to
be so hard on a fellow. l should nevah, you
know, give my impressions without really
knowing America. was just gong to say
that really, after two days here, Your capital
is so very charming we couldn't get away.
Really we couldn't. And we went down TO
the booking office and the fellows fixed 1t all
right with the tickets Now, instead of two
days. we've really been in Washington seven
weeks. It's a fact wouldn't believe it my
self if | didn't know it, You see. Seven
weeksl But we really, you know, must get
off to Florida next week. Sorry; Washing

MRS. sABIN's KINDNESS.

Washington letter in Chicago Tribune:
Another of the interesting married Ia
dies in Washington society is the wife
of senator Dwight NJ. Sabin of Minneso-
Ia Mrs. Sabin was Miss Ellen Amelia
Hutchins of Norwich, Conn, of an old
family OF Eastern Connecticut. She is
verv beautiful and popular, and is one
of the most attractive ladies of the sena-
torial circle. The domestic life of Sena-
tor and Mrs. Sabin Is touchingly pathet-
ic. Mrs Sabin was left an orphan when
very young, which created q tender
place In her heart for children bereft
by cruel death of the tender care of par
ents and sheltering comfort and training
of home. Having no children of her
own she has taken: unto herself liberal
family of nine children by adoption or
support. These homeless little ones
form an interesting picture of the amount
of happiness which kind and motherly
heart can bring into this world. Two of
the little ones, Blanche and Ethel Ray
mond, seven and nine years, are the
children of the late Delegate Raymond
of Dakota. The Sabins and Raymonas
were neighbors in Washington. The
children spent much time with Mrs. Sa-
bin, becoming very much attached to
er's illness she took them to her house,
and, when the mother died, kept them
with her and cheered their wounded
spirits by taking them with her to her
Minnesota home. Soon after the mother
the father died suddenly. The little
ones were in great distress, being home
less and without means. Their kind
benefactress relieved their apprehen-
sion by adopting them as her own. Now
they call their kind friends "papa" and
"mama," as if they never knew any
other. Ada Chambers, q bright little
miss, niece of the senator, and her
brother are also in this pleasant family
of happy orphans. There are also three
little girls and two little boys who are
orphan children of relatives of the SEN
ator, who are the beneiciaries of the
abundance of his charity and means.
Mrs. Sabin also takes great pleasure in
giving JOY to her young lady acquaInt-
ances. AS her guests this winter are
Miss Ada Murphy of st. Paul, the ac-
complished daughter of one of that
growing metropolis leading physicians;
and Miss Sadie Williams of Danielson-
vile; Conn.,, lovely blonde, highly ed
ucated, an excellent musician, and much
travelled both at home and abroad.
